The 1962 CJP Appeal
VOL. XVII No. 31 Thurs. March 22. 1962 Price Ten Cents
CJP Appeal Pledges
Hit $2,037,000 Mark
A total of $2,037,000 was pledged this week at the campaign kickoff dinner of
the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, attended by hundreds of
people prominent in Boston civic life.
The Advance Gifts Dinner, held at
the Hotel Somerset in the Louis XIV
Ballroom, officially launched the
1962 Appeal of the Combined Jewish
Philanthropies, the central fund
raising and planning organization of
the Greater Boston Jewish com-
munity.
Sidney R. Rabb presided as dinner
chairman.
David Kane, general chairman of
the 1962 Appeal, announced that the
funds raised represented a consid-
erable increase over those raised
by this same group last year.
Mr. Kane pointed out that "this
enthusiastic community-wide re-
sponse represents only a beginning
of what we hope will be an overall
community understanding of the
critical needs of this year's appeal."
He added that, "in the next two
months a concentrated effort is be-

MIDDLE EAST ROCKED DY CLASH
Evaluate Effects Of Charter
Loss By Rockwell Nazi Group
By Harold Eidlin
If you think passage of a bill by the Virginia State
Legislature revoking the state charter of George
Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party means an
end to the activities of the self-styled "fuehrer"
just wait until you see him at his next street corner
rally.
Indeed, some of Rockwell's staun-
chest enemies were opposed even to
that legislation. They feared, first,
that any legal action against the
Nazis could open a Pandora's box
of precedents in connection with
other groups operating in the state.
Secondly, they had misgivings a-
bout the reams of publicity Rockwell
was likely to receive from the hear-
ings and discussions centering a-
round the bill.
But Delegate Harrison Mann
of Arlington�in whose home com-
munity Rockwell's group is head-
quartered, and whose violent op-
position to the American Nazis led
to his sponsorship of the bill re-
voking the charter�had different
ideas.
Publicity
On the question of publicity--long
a bone of contention among vary-
ing schools of thought within the
Jewish community�Mann concedes
Continued on Page Six
The fact is, Rockwell will be free
to do exactly as he has been doing
--charter or no charter. The only
difference is that he will oe pro-
hibited from using the words "Nazi"
or National Socialist" in the name
of his group. And for all intents
and purposes, this was really the
only objective of the bill.
But saying this does not mean to
imply in any shape or form that
there was, or is, any official state
endorsement of the Rockwell group.
Far from it. His group, and the things
for which he stands, are almost
universally abhorred�a feeling
certainly reflected, too, among the
men and women who serve in the
Virginia Legislature.
Yet, to have done more than re-
voke Rockwell's charter and deny
him the use of names which are
even outlawed in West Germany, was
as far as the legislators dared go
without running into a nest of con-
stitutional difficulties.
Algerian Agreement

PARIS, (JTA) � Algeria's 150,000 Jews have been
guaranteed full religious, cultural and civic rights
in the agreement for a cease-fire reached between
France and the FLN, the Moslem movement for
Algerian independence, according to the text of the
pact released here.

thoroughly integrated among the
1,000,000 Europeans in Algeria, will

munal rights, according to the
agreement signed this week at Evian.
As an integral part of the
European minority in Algeria, the
country's Jews have been guaranteed
by both sides the following rights:
1. Jews will be able to retain
their French nationality. They will
enjoy a three-year transitional
period, during which they will be
able to choose Algerian nationality,
which will be granted automatically,
if that is their preference. Should
they refuse to become Algerian
citizens, they will nonetheless have
the right to continue to live
in Algeria, enjoying rights equal to

Court Upsets
Bias Ruling
In Montreal
MONTREAL, (JTA) � A
magistrate's court h jre
ruled that a Jewish tax-
payer is eligible to sit on
the Protestant School
Board of the St. Martin sub-
urb.
The decision went directly against
a ruling of the Privy Council more
than 30 years ago and opened the
way for Harvey Grotsky, a St. Mar-
tin advertising man, to become the
first Jew in Quebec Province ever
elected to a school board.
Judge Rene Lippe of Magistrates
Court, in a decision which already
had been acceded to by the St. Mar-
tin board�it had since admitted
Mr. Grotsky's right to run�ruled
that St. Martin should annul the elec-
tion of William C. Henderson to its
school board last July 10 and call
a new election April 2.
Mr. Grotsky's nomination last
July had been rejected by the board's
secretary-treasurer ongrounds that
Mr. Grotsky was not a protestant.
Mr. Grotsky went to court.
It was the first contestation of the
issue since a prolonged court battle
in the 1920's ended with the Privy
Council ruling that Jewish rights to
be elected to the Protestant school
boards of Quebec could not be sup-
ported under Quebec law.
Last February 13, the St. Martin
board agreed, Mr. Grotsky's nom-
ination should have been accepted
and he should have been allowed to
run. Under Ouebec's Education Act,

Uneasy Quiet Prevails As
Both Sides File Complaints
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA) � Syria and Israel
both filed complaints with the Security Council here,
each accusing the other of "aggressions" as a result
of Israel's Saturday dawn raid against Syrian gun
positions overlooking Lake Tiberias.
Neither side requested a Council
meeting, both being content merely
with informing the members of the
Council of their conflicting claims
and counter-charges.
Israel's protest, by Ambassador
Michael S. Comay, pointed out that
Israel exercised its right of self-
defense as a result of 10 different
aggressive acts by Syria between
February 1 and March 16. He also
noted that, since Syria separated
itself from the United Arab Re-
public, last September, its leaders
have repeatedly declared that their
Government is "in a state of war"
with Israel.
The "aggression" allegation
made in the Syrian document was
firmly rejected by the Israeli dele-
gation here. "The Israel action was
taken in accordance with Israel's
legitimate right of self-defense, and
the responsibility of its Government
to protect the life and property of
Israeli citizens and the territorial
integrity of the State," said a
spokesman for the Israeli dele-
gation.
The Syrian complaint avoided
i Continued
mention of the harrassing by the
Syrian gun positions of Israeli pa-
trol boats and fishermen on Lake
Tiberias--acts which precipitated
Israel's raid on these positions. It
charged Israel with attacks bymor-
tars, artillery and from aircraft
against seven Syrian villages.
The Israeli spokesman said that
the Syrian letters "gives a com-
pletely untrue account of the clash"
and drew attention to the fact that
"the letter is also remarkably si-
lent about the chain of events lead-
ing up to this incident."
"Lake Tiberias," the Israeli
spokesman emphasized, "is wholly
within Israel territory. Near its
northeastern shore, the Syrians have
established fortified gun positions,
from which they have repeatedly
fired on Israel fishing boats and
police patrol vessels on the Lake--
most recently on March 8, 15 and 16.
When appeals and warnings
through the United Nations authori-
ties failed to stop these Syrian
violations of the Charter and the
Armistice Agreement, an Israel
